The Paducah & Lake Erie is now fully operational after some 5 1/2 hours spent Saturday in with Digitrax expert Brian Post dealing with all the reversing loops. The reversing loops were created primarily because of the complex interlocking with two crossovers on the lower level. After a number of double gaps and power line drops -- I will post a explanatory photo later for those who are interested -- trains run through the interlocking from any one of four tracks and leave via any one of the same four tracks. Photo above shows two trains meeting on the lower level, the first time power has gotten to these tracks. Now, with trains running the entire mainline, I can start "tuning" the track to assure smooth operation, and adding the yard and industrial turnouts. Again, thank you to the yeoman effort put forth by Brian Post in solving this complex wiring problem.
